An out and out classic.

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2016)

I've mentioned several times about my list of favourite horror movies, and this one is very much on the list. In someone it's a beautiful movie, with some truly powerful, almost iconic scenes of an empty London, abandoned motorways etc, a soundtrack that would grace any film, and some great characters, all somehow realistic and subtle. The story is quite common place, but it's what accompanies it is what makes it unique, an unashamedly huge amount of Britishness, we get Union Jacks, London cabs and buses, even Trafalgar Square. Plenty of scares, great character play, lots of long dialogues which are far from dull and a fantastic ending. A classic, full of depth. 8/10
